complete verse (Joshua 22:27)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Joshua 22:27:

  • Kupsabiny: “But we made (it) to show you and us and also our descendants that we have the right to worship God in front of his Tent and at that place burn sacrifices which are burned completely and those of fellowship. Then, your descendants will not say to our descendants, ‘You (plur.) have no business with the God of Israel.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Rather than that, however, we have built this altar so that it will be a witness between your descendants from generation to generation that we bring burnt offerings, sacrifices and fellowship offerings and worship the LORD only before His Tent of Meeting so that later your descendants may not speak like this to our descendants, ‘You have nothing to do with the LORD’.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “but-instead as a reminder for us (excl.), for you (plur.), and for our (incl.) descendants that we (excl.) worship the LORD by-means-of burnt offerings, offerings for a good relationship, and yet other offerings there at his Tent. So later your (plur.) descendants can- not -say to our (excl.) descendants that they do-not-have (any) involvement/anthing-to-do with the LORD” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “We built that new altar to prove/show to you and to us and to all of our descendants that we worship Yahweh by completely burning animal sacrifices and offerings of grain and offerings to maintain fellowship with Yahweh only at the place Yahweh chooses. We do not want your descendants to say to our descendants, ‘You do not belong to Yahweh.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
